How to install windows 7 on my computer?

Hey guys. Want to apologize in advance if this in the wrong section of the forum. Also want to let you guys know I appreciate you helping me.

I have a gateway desktop. I had windows 7 on it and it got the blue screen of death. My friend had fixed it but I didnt have the windows 7 cd so he installed linux on it. I like linux a lot but the problem is Im a noob in computers so this is very difficult stuff for me to utilize. Also alotta programs I need cant be opened through linux without me doing alotta mumbo jumbo.

I've been trying to delete linux but I cant. I bought the windows 7 cd, but it wont boot from it or whatever.

Go to google and type 'zero writter on hard disk' and get the software then make it a bootable cd.In your system go to bios setting and make it boot from dvd/cd then first boot from this cd and this cd makes your hardisk raw(original facotry made hardisk). It will take some time to complete the process after that you will get raw hardisk and you can install any OS in that harddisk through your traditional ways.

Are you sure you have the CD/DVD set to first boot priority in the BIOS?
Do you have a full installation CD/DVD and not just a Recovery CD/DVD?
The microsoft forums would probably be a better place to go for advice although the above methods should work:

A piece of cake. You just first erase disk where linux installed on under MS-DOS. Secondly, reboot system and then turn into MS-DOS again by pressing hotkeys. Finally, Insert Windows7 CD and install it.
